'We have found for many, art and creative activities in a like-minded community setting, are a great way to successfully clear the mind from the fog of addiction, avoid relapses and cravings and slow down the turmoil of the brain'.
Directed by Archie Fox on behalf of Creative Start Arts in Health CIC. 'Comeback' is a film about recovery from addiction at its most raw. Members of our recovery community speak openly and honestly about their experiences. The pain of addiction and the hope to be found in choosing recovery.
Creative Start Arts In Health CIC are a multi-award winning, lived experience, recovery organisation helping to rebuild the lives of people in recovery and their families.
We promote an abstinence-based peer-support recovery approach, provided by a network of lived-experience volunteers and supporters.
We run community art projects and restore safe, creative workspaces throughout Grimsby and Cleethorpes designed to inspire creativity and build a community dedicated to reducing the stigma of addiction that many experience in their daily lives.

Supporting local bands and musicians...
Although there is support for people in active addiction available in Grimsby and Cleethorpes, there is very little support and limited activities for people who are in a programme of abstinence.
Based at Abbey Walk in Grimsby and open weekdays from 10am to 3pm, we started 'The Comeback' in Grimsby as an opportunity for us to help change that.
'The Comeback' is an addiction recovery drop-in, Arts gallery and studio workspace in Grimsby. A space to make new connections and meet others in recovery from addiction.
Friendship and community can be really important for anyone who is in early recovery. When people first become free of addiction, they can feel lonely, highly vulnerable and have a lot of uncertainty about the future.
Spending time with others in recovery as part of our community can be inspirational and fun, living proof that it is possible to build a good life away from addiction and a great way to avoid relapses!
We've created a safe environment where people in recovery and the community can socialise freely, without the stigma of alcohol and addiction.
